What are the x-intercepts of the graph of the function below? y = x2 + 2x-15

Answer:

x = - 5, x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x- intercepts let y = 0, that is

x² + 2x - 15 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 2)

The factors are + 5 and - 3, since

5 × - 3 = - 15 and 5 - 3 = + 2, hence

(x + 5)(x - 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

x- intercepts at (- 5, 0) and (3, 0)

30% of Number A is the same as 40% of Number B.
Goryan [66]

30% of number A means

\dfrac{30A}{100}=\dfrac{3A}{10}

similarly, 40% of number B means

\dfrac{40B}{100}=\dfrac{2B}{5}

These must be equal, so we have

\dfrac{3A}{10}=\dfrac{2B}{5}

Multiply both sides by 10 to get

3A=4B \iff A=\dfrac{4B}{3}

So, you can choose any number for A, and then you multiply it by 4/3 to get B. There are infinitely many solutions to this equation.

A group of people were asked if they had run a red light in the last year. 315 responded "yes", and 190 responded "no".
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

0.624

Step-by-step explanation:

Number who have run a red light = 315

Number who haven't run a red light = 190

From the data :

The total number of people sampled = total possible outcome = (315 + 190) = 505

Selecting a person at random, probability that the selected person has run a red light :

P = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Required outcome = Number who have run a red light = 315

P(having run a red light) = 315 / 505 = 0.624
